Psalm 33

The Greatness and Goodness of God

¹Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous.
   Praise befits the upright.
²Praise the Lord with the lyre;
   make melody to him with the harp of ten strings.
³Sing to him a new song;
   play skilfully on the strings, with loud shouts.

⁴For the word of the Lord is upright,
   and all his work is done in faithfulness.
¹⁸Truly the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him,
   on those who hope in his steadfast love,
¹⁹to deliver their soul from death,
   and to keep them alive in famine.

²⁰Our soul waits for the Lord;
   he is our help and shield.
²¹Our heart is glad in him,
   because we trust in his holy name.
²²Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us,
   even as we hope in you.
